Pamela Braden has served as a member of our Board since December 2021. Ms. Braden is an Operating Partner at AE Industrial, bringing over 35 years of experience in the defense, technology and government services industries. Prior to joining AE Industrial in 2022, Ms. Braden was the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Gryphon Technologies, an engineering services firm that became an AE Industrial portfolio company in 2018. Under Ms. Braden s leadership and AE Industrial s guidance, Gryphon grew to over $300 million with 1,500 engineers and technical personnel over a period of three years. The company pivoted from a privately owned engineering services firm into a leader in digital engineering, working with cyber assessment tools, migrating engineering data to the cloud, and performing predictive analytics on that data for national security organizations. Prior to Gryphon, Ms. Braden served as an executive at various government sector focused startups that ultimately grew into successful large businesses. We believe that Ms. Braden s decades of directorial experience in the defense field qualifies her to be a director on our Board.
